Putting on Snowshoes
Note
Before starting on your first snowshoeing outing you should practice
putting the snowshoes on. Preferably
outdoors to prevent scratches indoors.
Please note the right and left marking
on the snowshoes.
1. Adjust the heel strap (3) to your shoe size.
The shoe size is marked on the heel strap.
2. Place the snowshoe on a level surface with
the binding open. Insert the foot into the
snowshoe with your foot pointing straight
forward (Fig. B). Pulling by the flap, pull the
heel strap upward to ankle height.
Now firmly place your foot all the way back
against the heel strap (Fig. C).
3. Now pull the tension strap (4) tight (Fig. D).
Tighten the binding so the shoe is straight and
firm.
Then secure the tension strap loop to the
attached clips (6).
Note!
Verify your foot is correctly positioned
by flipping the heel lift up. When flipped
up the heel lift should be positioned at
the centre of the heel.
Removing Snowshoes
Press the quick-release lever (5) outward to
release the tension strap (4). You will now be
able to slide your foot out of the binding.
Cleat Cover
When the item is not in use please cover with the
included cleat guard. The elastic bands do not
need to be released. Place the end of the cleat
cover with the shorter elastic band over the rear
pointed end of the snowshoe. Then place the
sheet over the snowshoe crampons. Once the
cleat cover is correctly positioned, double wrap
the elastic around the front part of the snowshoe.

Gear
Shoes
Use conventional mountain, hiking or trekking
shoes.
Clothing
Adapt your clothing to weather conditions.
In changing weather you may choose to wear
layers of clothing. This will allow you to quickly
adjust your clothing to conditions.
Poles
Ski or trekking poles will make it easier to snowshoe. They will help with balance, thus enhancing stability. Use poles with large baskets to
minimise sinking in deep snow.

Stride Techniques
Note
When using the step-by-step and duckstep method the heel lift can make it
easier to walk on inclines. Simply flip
the heel lift up when needed. Then on
level terrain flip it back down.
Step-by-Step (Normal gait) (Fig. E)
On level terrain, gentle slopes or uphills.
Simply take smooth parallel steps. The width
of the step is determined by the width of the
snowshoes.
Duck Step (Fig. F)
This stride technique, similar to skating step in
skiing, used on inclines to prevent stepping on
your own feet. Firmly plant each step to ensure
the snowshoes grip securely.
Kick Step (Fig. G)
In kick-step you will be walking up steep inclines
perpendicular similar to a crab. Keep your body
straight. Plant each step firmly. Keep looking
directly at your goal (e.g. the top of the hill).
Line Step (Fig. H)
Use this technique to climb hills switchback style.
Place one foot in front of the other parallel to the
hill. To conserve energy the switchbacks can be
drawn out.
Environment
Especially during winter months when we
humans start to enjoy winter sports animals are
struggling in their search for food.
Please keep in mind:
- Avoid routes through forest reserves
and game reserves.
- Stay on marked routes and trails in
forests.
- Keep dogs on a leash, especially in
the forest, to protect wild animals.
- Avoid the outskirts of forests and
snow free areas, as this may be an
area for wild animals.
